There seems to be little consistency in the services at Porsche dealers. I wonder if it is related to how busy / successful the dealer is. The more cars they sell the better the sales experience and the more experience the service team get.
An unsuccessful dealership probably pays less...
MatC21. I totally agree that the Cayenne drives different to the Macan. If you prefer ‘sporty’ then the Macan provides it. All I was responding to was the comment that other than size there was no difference.
I see that in the US they are now including options as standard - I think that is...
If you did a bit of research you would find there are considerable differences between the Macan and Cayenne. I owned a Macan and now have a Cayenne - virtually every aspect is an improvement.
Just a few examples, on delivery it downloaded a map update OTA, range with full ac on and mix of...
I had a 4S and traded it against a Cayenne EV Coupe. It’s very early days but the forum has had no real reports of failures / issues. If you can afford the increase then I suggest you look closely at the Cayenne EV.
I think it is strange for you to continue to use it in an area you know it will slam on the brakes. I think the saying “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result” may apply here.
I think you would struggle to convince a judge that Porsche are responsible for poor signage in the UK. I feel sure the judge will point you to the warning words that Porsche tell you about the potential failures in the option. He would also point out you the driver are responsible for driving...
The easiest way to overcome the issue is to turn it off. As Awaz says, there are a lot of posts on here about the issue. It is a combination of things - the wrong limit in the Sat Nav (Porsche has known about this for over a year), the cameras picking up some slip roads with limit signs, signs...
There were post about this last year. There are images showing disconnecting the Bose and reconnecting seemed to resolve the issue.

My car was booked in just after the update was released. The day before, the dealer called to say that they were suspending all updates as they had 2 cars which were ‘bricked’ due to the update. The cars were completely dead. Not long after they re-booked it as they had installed a newer version...
My car was in for the last 3 days for a number of range reporting issues. The technician said it was down to me switching from summer tyres to winter ones. I explained they are all season and the range increased ditching the Bridgestones. It has to go in again, hopefully this time to someone who...
When the clocks changed previously in the UK the server did take a day or two to sort out the correct time. There was a thread on it as it was fairly widespread in the UK. In my case it took 3 days and then righted itself.
I said its not a recall as they are Safety Recalls - in the UK there is only one Safety Recall and that effected just 18 cars with an Airbag issue - https://www.check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk/recall-type/vehicle/make/PORSCHE/model/Macan%20Electric/year/2025/recalls
Good luck with the...
In the UK those ‘issues’ are not a recall - since the software upgrade I have noticed no improvements but now have the ‘battery balancing issue’ and random range showing.
Same issue with the boot not fully closing happened today. I manually closed it and it shut and the warning was turned off. It’s going in for the battery balance issue in mid April and they’ll hopefully fully resolve the boot soft close’.
I had a similar problem. The boot would close but not the final ‘soft close’. I could only drive with the warning buzzer. It was Saturday, so I took it to the dealers not expecting anyone available but yet again Colchester provided an excellent service. The technician did all the checks I had...
The shortage of parts is one of the reason the car thefts are as high as they are. Those that aren’t sent overseas are broken down into parts as spares. I was surprised that they are stealing cars worth £ 50k+ and breaking them up but there is very little risk of getting caught compared to...
I think that the difference in approach is the cause of the issues. I much prefer the Porsche approach which ensures the car has the required charge at the planned departure time. The suppliers approach seems to be to delay start until the low charge time commences - this means the car may not...
